Beautiful Messy Sunday Forget Perfectionism … It Sucks!
Breakfast in Messy Bed!
Perfectionists have a lot of baggage that other people don’t, and that baggage comes from constantly striving to appear perfect.» Basically, it’s not easy being perfect; it’s heavy and exhausting.
When we live a rigid life in order to attain out-of-reach goals, we miss out on the organic rhythms that our mind and bodies might be moving to in a life less focused on perfection. Striving to be great … or good or even just okay.
Messy but lots of Fun!
Rather than perfect allows one to find their groove and excel, even if that means excelling with a messy sink or undone hair. And when you get to that point, and can find the liberating joy of imperfection? I would say that’s pretty perfect.
Messy Beautiful Hair!
Furnham says that people focused on perfection tend to have low self-esteem, noting also the presence of «guilt and its fellow travelers, shame and self-recrimination.» Admittedly it’s not clear if low self esteem feeds perfectionism or if perfectionism feeds low self esteem, but when I think of the more confident people I know, they are the ones unashamed of imperfection.
I for one stopped being so rigid in my cycling schedule. I now dress the way I feel like, colorful if I want to, no planned routes. Yes, I am a Messy Cyclist, and I LOVE IT!
Messy Happy Cyclists!

Costa Rica is a Paradise and its Food is Lip Smacking Good
Costa Rica is a very exotic place to visit. If you travel there please make sure you stay at least 3-4 weeks minimum so you can relish everything this enchanting country has to offer.
Its rain forest, trekking experience, the waterfalls, the volcano, the coffee plant tour, the white water rafting and of course, its delectable and most palatable food.

The cuisine in this exotic country is hearty, savory and always satisfying. While it doesn’t have the spice of Mexican or the grilled skewered meats of Argentinian food, it has a style all its own: like an easy chair or a meal from your grandmother’s kitchen.
4 Most Beautiful Ranches I Love to Find Diversion and Transcendence!
Find Diversion and Transcendence!
Owning a ranch is a magnificent way for those wishing to relax, have fun enjoying multiple activities and if you desire luxury, a well planned-built ranch will offer a world-class vacation property for active adventures!
I adore to cast for trout or catfish (depending on location) on sparkling waters, bicycling a hill, hike a canyon to nearby waterfalls, mountain bike the back-country, then luxuriate myself in a tented spa. I love to immersed myself in the wilds, with nature all around.
Luxury camping in a white canvas safari tent is another of my favorite activities to enjoy with my family, no matter the month or season of the year.

Wonderful Idea to Make a Healthy Taco with Lettuce Fast and Easy!
This exotic dish is not native of Mexico, it was brought from either Japan or South China.
Hibiscus flowers also known as Jamaica arrived in Mexico in the colonial times and are now deeply integrated into the Mexican cuisine.
In these light tacos, the tart and bright flowers are mixed with roasted potatoes (regular or the sweet kind), your choice of shredded chicken or beef (you can add pieces of shrimp instead if you like) and sauteed vegetables before being wrapped in a lettuce leaf «tortilla.»

Ever Wonder if Singing a High Note Can Break Glass? – Science Fanatic
Have You Ever Wondered?
We’ve all seen those scenes in movies. You know, the scene where the opera singer belts out a note so loud and sustained that they literally shatter a glass. I’m wondering if that’s actually possible?
So apparently every object has a natural resonant frequency. That means there’s a pitch at which that object starts to vibrate (even skyscrapers have this natural resonance). The thing is… every single piece of glass has a different pitch at which it resonates.
So if you were able to shatter a glass by singing, you’d have to sing at the exact note that resonates for that specific piece of glass. Turns out, you can find that note by hitting the glass and listening for the clink sound.
Now, if you were able to sing that exact note for a really long time at a REALLY loud volume, you could theoretically shatter a glass. The vibration will eventually cause the glass to flex enough that it shatters.
In order to break a glass with nothing but a human voice, you have to look at a few important factors. First, to shatter glass, the frequency of waves should be around 550 Hertz. Therefore, the person in charge of shattering the glass has to make sure that their voice can attain a frequency in that range. More Here
So the answer is: it’s possible but it ain’t easy. Here’s a pretty cool YouTube video where they do manage to shatter a glass (with some technological help). Just make sure to turn the volume down on your headphones or speakers, trust me!
If you sing at a wine glass at its exact resonant frequency, you can break the glass without the help of a speaker! Learn the physics behind that. Watch Video Here
I had always assumed this was a myth but it’s cool to know that it’s actually possible. Do ya think you have the pipes to shatter a glass?

Celebrating the «Taco Day» in America with these Delicious Choices!
Tacos are the Mexican equivalent of a sandwich. Instead of bread, a hard or soft tortilla is wrapped or folded around a spicy filling.
BREADED FISH WITH LOTS OF VEGGIES ON TOP… YUMMY!
It is not known exactly when they originated, but they themselves have been around for a long time.
This is what I know: they were first referenced by that name at the end of the 19th century, but the conquistador Cortez mentioned a meal prepared with tortillas as far back as 1520! Those would have been the soft wheat or corn tortillas.
AL PASTOR CON PIÑA!
CARNE ASADA AND CHICKEN, YOUR CHOICE 😀
However, historian, Jeffrey M. Pilcher, professor of history at the University of Minnesota, has traveled around the world researching Mexican food. He has a few ideas about the history of tacos, and you may be surprised to read his conclusions:
It is believed that the origin of the taco started in Mexican silver mines. Mr. Pilcher believes that they came about some time in the 19th century.
This hypothesis about the taco comes from the fact that the first type was the “taco de minero”
It is believed that the word originally referred to pieces of paper that miners would wrap around gunpowder and use in holes that were carved into the face of the rock.
